What Does Mild Pelvicaliectasis Mean In Ultrasound Report?

I have a translanted kidney in my lower abdomen. I had an ultrasound recently where they found mild pelvicaliectasis. They also found a 3mm x 3mm polyp in my gall baldder. I see a surgeon next week to discuss options regarding the polyp, and I'll discuss the pelvicaliectasis with my nephrologist at the next visit. But, in an efort to learn a little more about these issues now, are either of these things I need to worry about?

Nephrologist,  's  Response
Dear patient,

almost every mild dilatation of the pelvis is normal, especially if you drink and urinate normally. Different is if you have other associated symptoms, like back pain or hematuria, which can be suggestive of stones. Otherwise, don't worry.

Take care,
